Anti-TYW1 Antibody

TYW1, also known as TYW1A, RSAFD1 or YPL207W, is a 732 amino acid protein containing one flavodoxin-like domain that participates in the wybutosine-tRNA (Phe) biosynthesis pathway. Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine at the 3-prime position adjacent to the anticodon of phenylalanine tRNA that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions during decoding on the ribosome. TYW1 is involved in a multistep enzymatic reaction that stabilizes codon-anticodon base-pairing during the ribosomal decoding process, thereby ensuring correct translation. TYW1 binds to one 4Fe-4S cluster and is located on human chromosome 7. Defects in some of the genes on chromosome 7 have been linked to Osteogenesis imperfecta, Williams-Beuren syndrome, Lissencephaly, Citrullinemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, suggesting that TYW1 may play a role in these conditions

TYW1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other TYW protein family members. At least three isoforms of TYW1 are known to exist; this antibody will only detect the two larger isoforms.

TYW1 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human TYW1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 520 - 570 of TYW1.

Probable component of the wybutosine biosynthesis pathway. Wybutosine is a hyper modified guanosine with a tricyclic base found at the 3'-position adjacent to the anticodon of eukaryotic phenylalanine tRNA. Catalyzes the condensation of N- methylguanine with 2 carbon atoms from pyruvate to form the tricyclic 4-demethylwyosine, an intermediate in wybutosine biosynthesis (By similarity) . .

TYW1 antibody can be stored at 4 °C, stable for one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
